Apples continue to be very firm. with a
tendency to go higher. The quality is IN
proving Cranberries are in good demand.
Butter continues without change 1t is firm
and i'll active request for all the best grades.
Cheese is steady. There is no change IT, the
situation with regard to eggs, with fresh cnes
going readily at 2002lc. The supply Of
fresh eggs is limited. Stocks in receivers
hands are light. and colder weather would
undoubtedly stiffen up prices by cutting
down the arrivals. good demand exists
for all kinds of game. and the supply IS light.
Saddles of venison sell fairly well, but ear
casses are rather slow. The supply of poul-
try is heavy and the market is well supplied

The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1887-05-18
A WOMAN AND A WILL.

A rich man died in New York the other
day and left all his property to an adopted
daughter. He was twice a millionaire.
He had no children, but he had nephews
and neices, against whom he had a griev-
ance, in consideration of which he refused
to bequeath them a penny. 1t was not
long after he had been laid to rest before
the nephews and neices sought their law
yers for the purpose of contesting the will.
But the daughter checked the rising scan
dial by an exhibition of good sense and
generosity very rare in complications of
this kind. She realized that her
adopted fathers ill-humor with his
kin was due to no serious offense, that it
was dne purely to within, that his nephews
and nieces were of his blood, while she
was his child by the laws decree alone.
Therefore, she called them together and
divided between herself and them the old
gentleman's millions and babe them go in
peace. This they did, and as one may well
imagine, the most cordial relations have
been established among the mem.
bers of the family. The lawyers
suffer, of course, but as their failure to OBJ
tain fees ont of difficulties of this charac-
ter Is SO rare matter, they are doubtless
philosophic enough to content themselves
with the reflection that such an event will
never again occur in their practice. The
young woman who has thus set at naught
the intricate processes of the courts, con-
trived for keeping attorneys employed in
the adjustment Of probate complications
has set fine example, though we do moi
believe that she will find many tc
honor her By doing as she has done
The disposition OF the average indisidua
on coming into accidental possession of q
] great fortune is to hold 1t all, without

food shall continue to increase, it will not
be long before We shall observe that a
great deal less OF it Is being devoted to the
fattening of hogs and to the manufacture
of whisky. Then will we see the corn
mills growing in number. 1t requires,
therefore, no stretch of the Imagination to
foresee time when Indianapolis and the
other cities OF the gas belt Will be centers
for corn milling, now that natural gas af-
fords a cheap fuel. As the corn will be
raised in the State where natural gas and
corn are both most abundant, it is evident
that the milling of the cereal will GER
tainly be done on the spot
where it is raised. This lucky correlation
is sure to be of the greatest benefit to the
people of the State by developing an enor-
nous industry, which is now in the infan-
tile stage. What st. Anthony's Falls have
done for Minneapolis, by promoting the
growth of the wheat.milling industry, nat
ural gas should do for Indianapolis, by de-
veloping great corn-milling enterprises
here.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1887-05-18

WE desire to call the attention of the
present Secretary of State to some things:
State Auditor Carr went into the Office
January 20, and he had the right, as it was
his duty, to compare and verify the State
Treasurer's report, il it had not been done
by his predecessor. All official work left
undone by an official must be completed
by his successor. State Treasurer Lemcke
went into Office February 10, and accepted
his Office on the statement of pub
lie accounts made by State Auditor
Carr. If Mr.. Carr did not verify
the accounts of Mr.. Cooper, how did he
make a statement of settlement for Mr..
Cooper?
Why did not the Secretary of State pub
lish the Auditor of States report for the
year ending October 81, 1885, and then add;
1.-The Auditor of State has no report for
1886" IL he could do 80 without lyingP
Why has State Auditor Carr retained the
State Treasurer's report in his office since
January &c, 1887, without either verifying
it or acting on it?
There were doubtless several reports for
the year ending October 81, 1886, that
came into the Auditors Office after the ex-
piration of Mr.. Rice's term; all of which
had to be verified by Mr.. Carr. All reports
go first to the Governor, and by him are
referred to the State Auditor, that the &C.
count of any expenditure therein con-
tanned may be verified. The Auditor COM
pares them with the books in his Office and
ratifies the statements If correct. There
was so much talk during the campaign
about Mr.. Cooper's books that it now
strikes the average citizen as strange that
this report, which had been referred to
the. State Auditor by Governor Gray,
was not taken up and verified,
especially as the January statement
had to be signed by Mr.. Carr and Mr..
Lemcke had to settle with Mr.. Cooper by
it. The Legislature continued in session
until March, 1887. Mr.. Carr went into
Office January &c, 1887. The report of Mr..
Cooper, therefore, could have been verified
by Mr.. Carr and sent to the printer in
time to have it printed ana sent to the
General Assembly.
These queries and facts are rendered Sec
rotary OF State Griffin for answer and fol
his own enlightenment. We have about
come to the conclusion, however, that the
omission of the financial statement from
the acts, in direct violation Of the
p ain provision OF The Constitution was, In
the language of Shakespeare, "a knavish
piece of work." of which it does not re
quire much philosophy to find out the mo
